“America’s Toughest Sheriff” is coming to Colorado this month for a fund-raiser for gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo. Tancredo frequently invokes the name of the Sheriff Joe Arpaio when he talks about illegal immigration problems. The sheriff of Maricopa County in Phoenix has a reputation for his hard-line approach against illegal immigration, resulting in a U.S. Department of Justice investigation.

Maricopa County Supervisors Mary Rose Wilcox and Don Stapley and other community leaders today demanded that Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu send to the FBI or another law enforcement agency allegations of serious misconduct lodged against Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s chief deputy. Wilcox also said she would formally ask the U.S. Department of Justice to place the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office under federal receivership if the case was not transferred. Already, an attorney who represents the supervisors has informally suggested receivership of Arpaio’s agency if the sheriff refuses to comply with ongoing federal criminal and civil-rights investigations. Wilcox said that suggestion could soon be formalized by the Board of Supervisors.

The demands come after a top Arpaio aide authored a 63-page report that contained explosive allegations of misconduct and mismanagement by Chief Deputy David Hendershott, the sheriff’s second-in-command, and two of his high-ranking subordinates.

Those subordinates, Deputy Chief Larry Black and Capt. Joel Fox, were placed on paid administrative leave Thursday. Hendershott is out on medical leave.

Wilcox and Stapley allege that Hendershott has continued to be involved in day-to-day operations of the office, including court proceedings and budget matters. They asked Arpaio to change Hendershott’s status from medical leave to paid administrative leave pending a full investigation of the allegations against him.

Seemingly overnight, Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu went from a local lawman to a national figure.

Outspoken in his support of tough immigration enforcement, he has appeared on TV news programs dozens of times and is fast becoming a known face in political circles.

Critics view him as a calculated politician inserting himself into a heated debate for political gain, prompting one official to quip that Babeu is “unavoidable for comment.”

Supporters say Babeu is motivated by an unflappable desire to stand up for what is right, by the principles that have been pushing him to seek a role on the political stage since he was a teenager.

At 41, Babeu has spent more than half of his life in and out of politics. The lawman began his career running for office, not walking a beat, and seized the Pinal County sheriff’s job on a campaign to oust government corruption.

But his starring role came suddenly, on an April night after one of his deputies had been wounded in a desert shootout with suspected drug smugglers.

The largest newspaper in Juarez asked the border city’s warring drug cartels Sunday for a truce after the killing last week of its second journalist in less than two years.

In a front-page editorial, El Diario de Juarez asked the cartels what they want from it so it can continue its work without further death, injury or intimidation of its staff.

“Leaders of the different organizations that are fighting for control of Ciudad Juarez: The loss of two reporters from this publishing house in less than two years represents an irreparable breakdown for all of us who work here, and, in particular, for their families,” it said.

“I don’t need you here, stirring up trouble, especially by shooting. The cartels shot at two people on my land last year. A surveyor and another guy. Right over that hill.” He was referring to the one we had just doubled-back over.

“A surveyor? Like a government surveyor?”

“Yeah.”

“Damn. What the fuck was he doing that they shot at him? He’s just a fucking surveyor.”

“Well, he was surveying. Doing his job.”

I responded with the “You’ve got to be kidding me.” look you’d expect.

“This is their corridor, where they move everything. Drugs, money, wetbacks. They’ll shoot at anybody. Like I said, if you look like you’re hunting around, looking to interfere with their business, steal their stuff, nab wetbacks, whatever, they’ll shoot you.”

Where are your enemies?

A Wyoming man has given more than $1.5 million to help defend Arizona's controversial immigration enforcement measure in court, Gov. Jan Brewer’s office said Thursday.

The contribution from Timothy Mellon of Saratoga is the largest to Brewer’s defense fund, which has amassed more than $3.6 million from 41,000 donors nationwide. Mellon could not immediately be reached for comment.

The U.S. government punished Mexico on Friday for human-rights abuses in its war against drug cartels, cutting $26 million from an upcoming $175 million aid payment, and demanded that Mexican soldiers be tried in civilian courts.

It is the first time the U.S. State Department has withheld funds over human-rights abuses since launching the $1.4 billion Merida Initiative aid program in 2008.

The decision comes amid a growing record of killings and torture by Mexico’s military, which has taken a leading role in Mexican President Felipe Calderón’s efforts against drug cartels. At least 21,000 people have died in drug-related violence since the crackdown began in December 2006.

Reporting from Washington — Employers who hire illegal immigrants can be fined, but the Obama administration warned this week that they also can be fined for asking legal immigrants to show their green cards before hiring them.

The Justice Department’s civil rights division sued the Maricopa County Community Colleges in Arizona, seeking damages from schools for having “intentionally committed document abuse discrimination.”

A ritual is performed when drug lords are arrested here. They are paraded before the news cameras, often with black eyes and fresh bruises, then stand shackled and grimacing between a pair of masked police.

The tough guys look tough, and they don’t talk so much as mumble.

But the alleged gringo gangster called “La Barbie” smirked. And bragged.

In videotaped confessions that have riveted this country, a sweaty, cocky, beefy Barbie boasts he was pals with the most famous crime bosses in Mexico, that he was rich, had “offices” in Colombia and Panama, and that he paid “some movie guys” $200,000 to film the story of his life - but didn’t much like the script.

Soldiers opened fire on a family’s car at a checkpoint in northern Mexico, killing a 15-year-old boy and another person, authorities said Monday.

It was at least the second time this year that a family has been caught up in a shooting involving Mexico’s military, which has come under intense criticism for human rights abuses as soldiers fight brutal drug cartels.

Soldiers apparently shot at the car when the driver failed to stop at the checkpoint Sunday on the highway from the northeastern city of Monterrey to Laredo, Texas, said Javier Trevina, Nuevo Leon state government secretary.

The intruder who punched out a Chandler man while stealing beer at a keg party picked the wrong victim.

The man, who had been attempting to defend his wife during the beer theft, had a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Fearing for his life and under attack, he pulled out a gun and fatally shot two men believed by police to be gang members early Sunday morning.

“People in Arizona carry guns,” said Detective David Ramer, a Chandler police spokesman. “You better be careful about who you are picking on.”

The federal government is investigating whether Arizona has discriminated against teachers who are not native English speakers, state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne confirmed Tuesday.

The state Department of Education for years has been monitoring English fluency of teachers who instruct English learners, but in April began instructing districts to fire teachers who weren’t proficient in the language.

The probe was launched by the U.S. Department of Justice in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Education.

Hundreds of public-school teachers statewide instruct students who need special assistance in learning English.

Mexican marines have arrested seven gunmen suspected of participating in the massacre of 72 Central and South American migrants, the government announced Wednesday.

Federal agents found 37 suspected illegal immigrants, smuggled into the United States from six countries, crammed into a small house in Riverside where some had been held captive for weeks, authorities said Wednesday.

Immigration agents raided the “drop house” after a relative of one of the captives called the Los Angeles Police Department. The caller told police the smugglers had threatened to kill his relative because the family failed to come up with enough money to pay for his release, according to Virginia Kice, spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles.

Agents found the immigrants — including two toddlers and a baby — in a small bedroom, measuring about 10 by 12 feet. The room was locked from the outside and the windows were boarded up. The home is in one of the city’s older neighborhoods along Martin Luther King Boulevard, about a mile east of the 91 Freeway.

The third Mexican mayor in a month was slain by suspected drug gang hitmen on the same day the U.S. secretary of state raised hackles in Mexico by saying the country is “looking more and more like Colombia looked 20 years ago.”

Hillary Rodham Clinton and other U.S. officials pointed to Mexican drug cartels’ use of three car bombs, a tool once favored by cartel-allied rebels in Colombia, as evidence that the gangs “are now showing more and more indices of insurgency.”

While the Mexican government quickly condemned the killing of the mayor of the northern town of El Naranjo, it rejected the comparison with Colombia, where the Medellin drug cartel waged a full frontal assault on the state, endangering its very integrity with attacks on police, politicians and judges and terror attacks against civilians.

More worrisome to Mexican legislators, Clinton suggested the United States was looking to implement some type of Plan Colombia for Mexico and Central America, referring to a U.S. anti-drug program in which American special forces teams trained Colombian troops and U.S. advisers are attached to Colombian military units.

The reaction was swift.

Mexico — which has suffered at least three U.S. invasions — has always rejected allowing American troops on its soil, except for a single symbolic presence: Mexico’s Senate has authorized a U.S. detachment to march in next week’s Bicentennial parade.

Illegal is in fact illegal.A federal appeals court ruled Thursday that Hazleton, Pa., may not enforce its crackdown on illegal immigrants, dealing another blow to 4-year-old regulations that inspired similar measures around the country.

The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia said that Hazleton’s Illegal Immigration Relief Act usurped the federal government’s exclusive power to regulate immigration.

“It is … not our job to sit in judgment of whether state and local frustration about federal immigration policy is warranted. We are, however, required to intervene when states and localities directly undermine the federal objectives embodied in statutes enacted by Congress,” wrote Chief Judge Theodore McKee.

The northeastern Pennsylvania city had sought to fine landlords who rent to illegal immigrants and deny business permits to companies that give them jobs. A companion measure required prospective tenants to register with City Hall and pay for a rental permit.

To embattled authorities here, where heavily armed soldiers patrol the streets and more than 500 people have been killed this year, marijuana is a poisonous weed that enriches death-dealing cartel bosses who earn huge profits smuggling the product north. “Marijuana arrives in the United States soaked with the blood of Tijuana residents,” said Mayor Jorge Ramos, whose police department has lost 45 officers to drug violence in the past three years.Obama’s ICE Proposes PolicyThat Would Let Illegal Immigrants Go Free

Illegal immigrants who get pulled over by police for traffic-related offenses will be set free if a proposed change in Immigration and Customs Enforcement policy is approved.

The proposal has come under fire by county sheriffs near the Arizona-Mexico border — including some who spoke out against SB 1070, the controversial Arizona law that directs law enforcement officials to question people they suspect are in the country illegally. A federal judge has effectively put that law on hold, pending resolution in federal court of the Department of Justice’s claim that it is unconstitutional.

And this is only part one.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been sued by the U.S. Justice Department for allegedly refusing to cooperate with a civil-rights probe into police practices and jail operations. Arpaio said the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Phoenix, is disappointing given that he and his office were cooperating on the federal probe. “I thought we were really close to getting this resolved,” the sheriff said.

In states far from the Mexico border — from liberal Massachusetts to moderate Iowa — Democrats and Republicans in gubernatorial races are running on strict anti-illegal-immigration platforms, pledging to sign an array of tough enforcement measures into law come January. Of the 37 gubernatorial races this year, candidates in more than 20 states have endorsed adopting a strict Arizona-style immigration law or passing legislation that makes it harder for illegal immigrants to live, work and access basic public benefits in their states, according to a POLITICO analysis.

An indictment was handed down Aug. 30 by the Southern District Court of New York that shows a connection between Hezbollah - the proxy army of Iran and a designated terrorist organization - and the drug cartels that violently plague the U.S.-Mexico border. In short, a well-known international arms dealer was trying to orchestrate an arms-for-drugs deal in which cocaine from FARC - the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, which works with Mexican drug cartels to take cocaine into America - would be traded for thousands of weapons housed by a Hezbollah operative in Mexico.

After not snaring time with the president, Gov. Rick Perry has turned down an offer to meet with Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and a top adviser to President Barack Obama on border issues. A governor’s spokeswoman said Gov. Rick Perry was denied a meeting with Obama when the president visits Fort Bliss on Tuesday.

Do you see who and what we are fighting on the border or not?

It is the democrats (read that as marxist-sociopaths, black liberation theology communists, social justice communists, fascists, socialists) that are trying to rape everyone and when everyone is raped, they scream out for more.

PHOENIX – Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer demanded Friday that a reference to the state's controversial immigration law be removed from a State Department report to the United Nations' human rights commissioner.

The U.S. included its legal challenge to the law on a list of ways the federal government is protecting human rights.

In a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Brewer says it is "downright offensive" that a state law would be included in the report, which was drafted as part of a UN review of human rights in all member nations every four years.

"The idea of our own American government submitting the duly enacted laws of a state of the United States to 'review' by the United Nations is internationalism run amok and unconstitutional," Brewer wrote.

Arizona's law generally requires police officer enforcing other laws to investigate the immigration status of people they suspect are illegal immigrants. [...]

John McCain - the 74 year old idiot that needs to vanishThe man that doesn't know that the 14th Amendment is an unconstitutional amendment because it was passed under the rule of the military - the man that said we need Shamnesty right up until now - the man that says we NOW must have border security - this man is an asshat.

I know. He has a "wonderful" military record. However - his "wonderful" military record has been tainted by the likes of the OTHER Democrat(s) In Drag Lindsey the Moron Graham and many other mutant turd swallowers in DC.

So after the border is secured, Johnny, will you then make the claim that we need Shamnesty ... AGAIN?

His competition isn't a whole lot better and may even be worse.

Good thing I don't vote in Arizona.

La Raza has claimed that they will take over the entire SE of the USA and make their own country. They already have California and New Mexico and most of Texas. All they need now is Arizona and by default with the Obamatards in charge, their way is the way to go. And all Obama wanted was more DNC voters. What a crock of crap.

Give what you can. We only have 37,996,897 dollars to get to fight them.

We didn’t know it at the time, but according to the rancher whose land we were on, the whole time we were at the border fence, we were under the watchful binoculared eyes of very deadly insurgents. The rancher, who I am calling American Rancher X (so pseudonymed because he fears for his life), gave me an extensive, shocking, eye-opening interview which will be published shortly. Here’s a little teaser clip from our first-ever arrival at the borderline. - Pat Dollard, rest of post by Grizz and Reloader

Interim Maricopa County Attorney Rick Romley on Thursday released hundreds of pages of grand-jury testimony and other documents showing failed attempts by Sheriff Joe Arpaio and former County Attorney Andrew Thomas to obtain criminal charges against county officials.

Grand-jury proceedings are secret, but a Superior Court judge unsealed the records “in the furtherance of justice.”

The documents say that the grand jury and an out-of-county prosecutor told Maricopa County prosecutors that prosecutors had no case against the county officials involving a sweep for illegal wiretaps and the construction of a downtown Phoenix court tower. Another prosecutor refused to hear the case.

Although they were turned away or denied several times, sheriff’s top officials and Thomas still say publicly that criminal investigations continue. They allege serious misconduct by county officials.

Pat and crew went into Nogales today, spent the entire day there so be sure to check on Pat Dollard's site for the latest.

I am leaving for Texas in a little while. My mother had a stroke and she needs a pacemaker. My Dad has been diagnosed with the "forget me disease" and wife wife and older sons are taking care of business while I head back to Texas. Please be praying for my mother and father. Thanks.

Counterproductive? What does that mean? Is he saying that the AZ law would result in more illegal aliens coming to Arizona and the country? Is he making a sinister reference to the fact that it is clearly counterproductive to the regime’s agenda of flooding America with Democrat-voting Mexicans? Counterproductive to what and how? There is no rational answer to that question, which is why he could only issue gobbledygook as his statement.

Interesting title but it is a CF. We HAVE been invaded. As most of you know, I have spotted the Spotters from the Mexican side. Rocks and lead projectiles have been thrown/shot at BP and DHS employees. I myself saw a spotter but he soon vanished after I spotted the spotter.

Today, Grizz and I went to Camp 4 about 4 miles from the border and approximately 1 mile past the end of the fence, we spotted a hootch - a camo tent with large windows facing us and the fence line. Tomorrow we will go see this hootch. We don;t know what we will do about it but going we are.

The hootch is in the middle of the picture below, can't hardly see it, but you can see a road right in fromt of it as it curves around the corner. This shot is from about 4 miles away with a zoom lens. Perhaps one day someone can send us a real camera or at least donate some funds.

This is what we are up against. No one on our side is set up for this. Please donate.Click the picture for hugeness.

In photos 086 to 096 one can see the many trails the enemy uses in order to cross into our Nation. Ths isn't a fairy tail. This isn't a lie. This is a fact.

Chris Matthews: Deporting Illegals Would Be A "Pogrom" - Chris Mattews. He is a pogrom.

Prosecutors say Rudy Trace Soliz III of Brownsville last September allowed a woman to pass through his inspection lane at the B&M International Bridge with illegal immigrants, in exchange for sexual favors.What a GREAT DHS man that was.

The clash began early Friday morning. The spokesman said it involved inmates charged with or serving sentences for federal crimes, which in Mexico include everything from drug trafficking to weapons possession.Two weeks ago, Mexican soldiers clashed here with drug cartel gangsters in running gun battles that lasted five hours. The outlaws hijacked vehicles, including a bus, for use as barricades and battering rams. Terrified residents scrambled for safety. At least a dozen people were killed, including bystanders. Children were wounded in the crossfire.Not a single word about it appeared in the local news media. Go figure.

Arizona Sees Drop In Legal Mexican Visitors

Amid speculation about how many illegal immigrants may be leaving Arizona under the pressure of new enforcement laws, a reverse phenomenon has gone largely unnoticed at the Mexican border: The number of legal visitors entering from Sonora, many of them to spend money, has plummeted.Good. Let them spend money in their own damn country and STAY THERE!

Virginia Republicans who had backed away from the hot-button topic of immigration the past couple of years, concerned that the hard-line approach could backfire at the ballot box, are embracing the issue once again.We were here first and we kicked your asses twice so get over it. Go whine to your sponsors in Spain.

By the way...

Mexican turtles. No wonder the democrats are so screwed up. Have you ever heard the phrase, "democrats are dumber than a box of turtle turds"?I found the mother of all peaks today. I also have topographical maps coming for the area more than likely next Tuesday. It was in Mexico - no pictures - yet. I have them but you cannot see them - yet.

Keep the donations coming.

Today was an insertion day and I evaded the BP choppers or whoever the choppers belonged to. I didn't see any spotters at all today but saw plenty of places a spotter would have been hiding previously seeing that I spotted boot prints and bottles of empty water jugs. I guess they don't eat up there because I saw no wrappers, bones or anything else.

Tomorrow, or at least in 6 hours or so I will be going back out. Pray for us out in the field.
